The Urban Jungle, part 2

Last week, elephants in Westminster. This week, tigers in Bethnal Green:

It's the Baishakhi Mela in Brick Lane: the largest Asian festival in Europe, now in its ninth year, with over a hundred thousand attendees last year. I'm reading all this from the booklet; it may happen only half an hour's walk from my flat, but I've never heard of it before. Anyway, happy Bengali New Year 1413!

Next week, giant clockwork penguins in Willesden. Probably.

Bungle and K9

So anyway, Ping and I are doing a wine course on Monday evenings. Today, the instructor mentioned that one of his colleagues is (when not running wine tastings) the voice of K9. Not only is he the voice of K9, but he also used to be the voice of Bungle.

Naturally, I didn't believe a word of it, but it seems to be true. That's right: K9 and Bungle were the same guy. Am I the only one who didn't know about this?
